Present Inaccurate Introduced: alien Containing type locality
From regional or thematic species database
Introduced species impact in Australian part of the Bass Strait (Marine Region) : Other impact - undefined or uncertain [details]Introduced species management in Australian part of the Bass Strait (Marine Region) : yes [details]
Introduced species management New Zealand part of the South Pacific Ocean (Marine Region) Specimens of S. spallanzanii were collected
from within the Auckland region and exposed to salinity treatments for up to 1440 min (24 h) and mortality rates were compared using LT50 i.e. number of minutes taken for 50% of worms to die. Specimens subjected to hypo-saline conditions resulted in an LT50 of 31.0 min compared to 132.0 min for hyper-saline conditions. Accordingly, hypo-saline dips have potential as an environmentally safe and cost-effective management method for maintenance of recreational vessels and other marine structures (e.g. aquaculture gear and shellfish stocks) that are heavily fouled with S. spallanzanii.

Introduced species management in New Zealand part of the South Pacific Ocean (Marine Region) : yes [details]
Introduced species vector dispersal in Australian part of the Bass Strait (Marine Region) : Ships: accidental as attached or free-living fouling organisms [details]
Introduced species vector dispersal in Australia (Nation) : Ships: accidental with ballast water, sea water systems, live wells or other deck basins [details]
